Chinese stick magic trick

Boost Me

A set of “chinese sticks” magic trick.

 

The set is completely 3d printed, and works by a weight (I use a M17 nut) is dragging the string, as you tilt the tube, giving the illusion that you're pulling it from the other stick.

 

The caps are threaded and can easily be screwed on / off the sticks.

 

I reccomend using a string with low friction, or add a heavier weight.

 

The sticks are made with a support that easily snaps off. I've included the STL file without the support aswell

 

Assembly

 

1. Put a string through the one hole, and just tie a knot on both sides of the tube,
   The other string is put through the other hole, and in one end connected to the ring and the other end connected to the weight.

2. The bottom part (the 2 caps with holes) can be connected as shown, which gives you the opportunity to let the audience cut the string (which has no effect on the trick)
